The average lifespan of a furnace is 15 to 20 years. After that period is up, a furnace starts to deteriorate through normal wear and tear of its parts. Do you have a broken furnace? If so, then it may be time to find a replacement on the market. Then, the next question becomes whether or not you should buy a new or used model. Both options come with their pros and cons, so we’ll be going over whether or not you should buy a used furnace to save money.
Why Should You Get a Used Product?
Buying a used furnace will save you money in the short term, but it most likely will not help with expenses in the long run. Buying an older product means that you’re more likely to get something that’s already worn-out and less likely to function as it should. If the product is already on the verge of a breakdown, you might end up having to pay for constant furnace repairs.
Getting a new product also reduces your chances of getting duped by the seller. If you want to avoid buying a malfunctioning product from a persuasive salesperson, then your best shot is finding a brand-new product on the market; that’s a pretty decent guarantee that you’ll have new equipment with functioning parts.
Why Should You Buy a New Furnace?
One big advantage to buying a new furnace is the warranty. Buying an older furnace means you’ll get a shorter warranty or no warranty at all. If the product isn’t working the way it’s supposed to, then the buyer can return, replace, or repair the product through the warranty.
Another thing to consider is the environment. Many older furnaces weren’t designed with environmental friendliness in mind, so many of the models ended up filling the air with pollutants. If you want to be eco-conscious with your purchases, then you’re more likely to find an eco-friendly furnace that’s a newer model. New furnaces also tend to be better when it comes to energy efficiency.
